Being a woman, being a person who doesn't agree with them, playing a game, etc. makes you a person worthy of receiving hate and death threats. The fact that these entitled people exist doesn't surprise me, but companies bowing down to them is what I'd like to see change. Also, TERF is becoming the new "bitch". More and more, it's 'woman doesn't agree with me' = TERF.

It's a free ring to allow their sexism and misogyny flow.

Me too.

I hope JK Rowling got a sweet payout out of it. I dont know anything about HP, but googling it says her company and WarnerBros jointly own the HP rights.

It would be great if HP sold 20 million copies and Rowling tweeted something like "Hey naysayers, I get $3 per game and made $60 million".

The only thing that pisses off SJW who hate people with other views in life, are people who have different views who are also rich.

I dont even care about JK or Harry Potter at all. I think I've watched a grand total of 5 minutes of the movies if I was skimming movie channels and it so happens it was on.

Bu I got to say, I'm liking JK more and more. Great way to piss off emotional dirtbags is to rub it in their faces youre rich.

I pre-ordered it as well. I have good memories on Harry Potter. I don't agree with assessment of ERA, while I do believe that Rowling is old hag, who don't really know what to do, so she is doing stupid twitter crusades and done some very dumb interviews, for example Russians trolled her into believing that she is calling with Zelensky on march, she has like zero awareness.

But she wrote some good books, with certain questionable characters.

I am very much looking forward to this game and fuck ReeEra

Banned? I'm surprised they didn't give you a medal.

Cant wait for all the people there talking HP when the game releases because what should happen is they all should be getting nailed as discriminatory gamers.

But just wait. You'll get gamers saying:

"But I didn't support JK. I do home sharing with a buddy who bought it. I didn't know he would. So I'm playing for free. Even though I've been actively posting in this thread and have played for 10 hours over the weekend, I get zero enjoyment out of this game. I'm just playing to see how bad it is".

Yea of course it was in a sarcastic manner when they were on a witch hunt and banned peoples like Black Chamber Black Chamber .

What you're describing for the game sharing is exactly what they did for Cyberpunk 2077, Kyuuji was given a copy of the game by some simp or something, he/she/xeir/weir/xim/xer played the game non stop on launch week... But it's ok, she didn't support monster CDPR..

Her whole identity is Harry Potter.
Everything else is only an echo from what made her famous and for people to even know her name.
If anybody else said similar things around that subject, they would be banned of social media and forgotten about in 5 mins.

Also shes not a Terf. You're just focused on one subject of her.

Eh. Trans issues, particularly trans women issues, aren't a big issue for me because they don't affect me, so I don't follow that line of news closely. So perhaps I missed something. That said, what I have seen come from Rowling - be it tweets or things spoken in interview-ish situations - she expressed mild, unsensational opinions. Such as a belief that competitive female sports should be exclusive to biological women, or that trans women shouldn't be inserting themselves into broad social and health-related discussions directly affecting women ahead of biological women. And the big one that seems to have angered many: that it should be OK for biological women to acknowledge that there is difference between themselves and trans women (that was the opinion that seemed to spark this entire drama).

I wouldn't personally consider such a woman a TERF. I think that slur is thrown around too often without justification. I've never seen her express any opinions that could be considered radically feminist (or even overtly feminist for that matter). Have you? I have however seen her admit that she studied the topic closely out of interest, and has expressed support for transgender people.

Beyond that, the entire ancillary debate occupies no space in my mind, so I typically ignore it when it comes to discussion of the game. I'd suggest more do the same. At the end of the day it's merely a fantasy video game in which one role plays as a child in a wizarding school. It's not a big deal and I think people devoting so much effort to it is weird. Leave the overreactions and sensationalism to places like RE. Just my opinion.

This game is gonna be a phenomenon, the kind people who don’t game will devour like ACNH during the pandemic. Normie millennials so thirsty for witchcraft and wizardry.

She's into philanthropy though. She has donated large hunks of her wealth to charities working to eliminate youth poverty. The type of people who coined and use the word TERF are the ones guilty of having their identity defined by a single issue.

Nope, tranny lunatics and their pondlife cheerleaders have painted her as anti trans.

She stated a simple bioligical scientific fact and all of a sudden its Waaaaaaaahh!!! You fucking TERF bitch!!!!!! I hope you fucking DIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! Kill yourself you BITCH!!!!!

Stupid fucking cunts :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I’m surprised I wasn’t banned on REERA for asking what the terms cisgender and TERF fucking meant. No one talks like this IRL off Twitter. Who cares what JKR thinks about biological science the books are good and as far as I know all she said was something to the effect that there are biological differences which is science. Not using someone’s preferred pronouns if you’re made aware of them is a dick move and I will call anyone a woman who wants to be called a woman but it doesn’t change biology.

Lol, what the heck is going on here, I’m reading this thread for the first time and I am freaking out. What’s the problem with that game? Everyone has they opinion, if you don’t like the game don’t buy it. Leave other players who want to play the game alone. Damn, people are very weird nowadays.
Also, someone said that new Zelda breath of the wild game will sell more than this.

The ironic thing is that the overwhelming majority trans people are originally entitled white males or females that want to transition to being entitled white males when I thought the entire point of being woke was to give a voice to disadvantaged mintorities and biological women. I have no problem with trans people at all they’re lovely humans but I just can never get over the fact that it’s literally the same group of entitled white people causing all the fuss.

Exactly, they can live the way the want. That’s not a problem, the problem is when they try to shove their thinking down my throat. Leave me be and leave me enjoy my life the way I want and play or support games and people I like.

I'm curious to what's going to happen to me! I've identified as a car for over twenty years and not even the LGBTQ community acknowledge me let alone the Highway Code.😢

I'll have to wait for reviews first before purchasing.

Don't worry...Rowling hasn't threatened death upon our carself brothers/sisters/others just yet. I think you're safe for now! Just watch out for rising gas prices and any pesky nails in the road!
